Questions from Church Norton
Is Church Norton close to London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Church Norton?
The closest is Bognor Regis station, roughly 4.9 miles away.
Can you set up at the unit base?
At base, on level ground. We’ll agree it with your location manager.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.

The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
How the day works
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your crew, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Because the roast starts early, and in December Church Norton is dark by about 4:00pm.

Planning help
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Tell us who does not eat pork
We work to the location’s rules.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Working with your venue
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
